Skill audit report

understanding-ladder Audit report.

Pick the output format that makes an explanation easiest to understand, following Karpathy's understanding ladder — (1) plain controlled text, (2) diagram, (3) interactive HTML page, (4) 3Blue1Brown-style explainer video. Classify the content (definition/steps, process/causality, parameter→outcome, unfolding derivation), recommend the lowest rung that fully answers, then produce it. Works in English and Chinese. Use when the user says "explain this clearly", "help me understand", "draw a diagram", "make it interactive", "make an explainer video", "what's the best way to explain X", "understanding ladder", "Karpathy ladder", or 「讲清楚」「帮我理解」「画个图」「做个交互页」「做个讲解视频」「用哪种方式讲最好懂」「理解阶梯」; also when explaining a non-trivial concept, mechanism, algorithm, or an AI agent's output.
